Write the structures of the isomers of alcohols with molecular formula C_(4)H_(10)O. Which of these will exhibit optical activity ?

Answer»

Solution :`to` The structures of the ISOMERS of alcohols with molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O` are :
(a) `underset("Butan-1-ol"(1^(@)))(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH)`
(B) `underset("2-Methylpropan-1-ol" (1^(@)))( CH_(3)- underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH- CH_(2)OH)`
(c) `underset("2-methylpropan-2-ol"(3^(@)))(CH_(3)- underset(OH)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C- CH_(3))`
Butan-2-ol is optically active.
